Park Planning

Planning for the future is an important responsibility for park management.  Legal mandates, preservation of cultural and natural resources, and public input all are considered in planning for each new project.  The following links will take you to planning projects at Pipestone National Monument.

Planning projects are also listed on the Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) web page.  This site provides access to current plans, environmental impact analyses, and related documents on public review.  Users of the site can submit comments for documents available for public review.
